Start-up fund for Anjali: reopening a neighborhood bakery after a storm that collapsed the roof
Anjali has run a neighborhood bakery for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in New Delhi. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $190
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength, Anjali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
